How much per ton is muck worth

[DrDunc]

UREA(46%) £400/t= £0.87/kg
TSP(46%) £600/t = £1.30/kg
MOP(60%) £650/t = £1.08 /kg

"Typical" straw court dung analysis of 3.3.7 kg NPK/t

Equates to a nutrient value of (3x0.87 + 3x1.3 + 7x1.08) £14/t

The analysis here of last year's composted court dung is (6. 6)-4-10 kg NPK/t. Cows and calves fed "good" 11MJ/kg ME 13% protein haylage, no concentrates, with straw (from their bedding)

Equates to nutrient value of £21.75 /t

And I've said many times before.......

Value of the organic matter, bacteria and microbes in dung spread on sterile, continuously cropped, arable land?

Priceless

There you go, calculate the cost of just the P and K in that if you were to buy it in by the bag and you have your value, to say nothing of the nitrogen or sulphur in it.

Thier is alot more in fym than p&k their is nothing to be bought thst can improve land as muck can

Oh …. Do some get to much ?

I'm on peat land and I find to much muck in a year can make the swarth soft. Like it's rotten

I don't know how much the haulage would work out at, but I've plenty here, free to collect. Will be about 20 miles north of you.

Thanks, unfortunately I think the 40 mile round trip put a bit of a dampener on it.
